UMAP [1]} is a recent non-linear dimensionality reduction algorithm.
The authors claim that UMAP preserves the global structure better than tSNE.
However, there is also counter-evidence by [2]} who showed that, given the same initialization, UMAP does not perform substantially better than tSNE.
We create a two-dimensional UMAP projection with the python module umap-learnhttps://github.com/lmcinnes/umap.
